Sample conversation
Hi! I commented on your lash lift reel, how much is it?
Hi Chloe! Lash lift with tint is €45 and lasts around 6 to 8 weeks. It takes about an hour.
Anything Saturday morning?
Saturday I've got 10:30 or 12:00 with Paula, the one from the reel 😊
12 please
Done. To hold the slot we take a €10 deposit, which comes off on the day:
Once it's paid you'll get the confirmation. Come without mascara, okay?
The problem
Your posts spark interest. Your inbox can't keep up
A reel that takes off brings dozens of comments and DMs within hours. If nobody replies quickly, that interest cools and people keep scrolling.
- «Price?» and «info» comments left unanswered, or with a «we'll DM you» that never arrives.
- DMs piling up in message requests and seen days later.
- Replying from the business phone between clients, with no time to actually close the booking.
- No idea which post brought in each customer.

What you get
What an AI Instagram chatbot does for your business
DMs answered in seconds
Replies at any hour with short, natural messages. If someone sends three in a row, it reads them together and answers once.

When someone comments on a post, the agent messages them privately with the info they asked for and carries on the chat there.
Booked in the same chat
Offers real slots from its built-in calendar or Google Calendar and books without the customer leaving Instagram.
Deposit via payment link
Takes the booking deposit through Stripe, PayPal or Redsys inside the DM. Fewer ghost bookings.
Shared history across channels
If the customer moves to WhatsApp or calls, the agent knows what was already said on Instagram.
Qualifies before handing over
Asks what you need to know (service, date, budget) and passes it to a person only when needed.
Follow-up on non-bookers
If someone asks but doesn't book, the agent checks back the next day and three days later.
GDPR and EU data
A Spanish company with data processed in Europe and real human support.

In plain terms: what is an AI Instagram chatbot?
It's an assistant connected to your Instagram professional account that automates Instagram Direct: it answers direct messages and replies to comments on your posts with AI, privately messaging whoever asks. It uses your business information to reply: services, prices, opening hours and availability.
It can book an appointment, send a payment link for the deposit and follow up with people who haven't booked yet. It doesn't post content for you or answer blindly: anything it doesn't know goes to a person on your team with the full conversation.
It works alongside your other channels. If the customer moves from Instagram to WhatsApp, the agent keeps the history and doesn't ask the same questions again.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
From €49/month on the Starter plan (1 business, 2 agents and 2,000 messages). Growth is €149/month and Scale €299/month. Pay yearly and save 20%.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days free with no card and no lock-in.
Do I need a professional account?
Yes, Instagram only allows professional accounts (business or creator) to connect. Switching is free and done in the app.
Can it reply to Instagram comments with AI?
Yes. It answers DMs and comments on your posts, and privately messages people who comment to share the price and offer an appointment in the same chat.
Will people notice it's AI?
It writes like a person: short, natural messages in the tone you set. You decide whether it introduces itself as a virtual assistant.
What if it doesn't know the answer?
It doesn't make anything up. It tells the customer and hands the conversation to someone on your team.
Can I use it on WhatsApp as well?
Yes. Connect WhatsApp with a QR code in 2 minutes or via Meta's official API, and the history is shared across channels.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. We're a Spanish company and data is processed in Europe.
How do I answer Instagram DMs automatically?
Connect your Instagram professional account to AkkaSignal, the setup assistant imports information from your website and Google Business profile, and the agent starts answering direct messages 24/7. Anything it doesn't know goes to someone on your team.
Does it work with my calendar or CRM?
It has its own calendar and syncs with Google Calendar. It connects to your CRM or software via API and webhooks, or through n8n, Make and Zapier.
